Ridley Scott is set to produce the feature adaptation of My Lady Jane through his Scott Free Productions banner. Co-authored by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, the book is a one-of-a-kind fantasy that bends historical fact to hilarious effect.
Pitched as in the vein of The Princess Bride, tells the story of Lady Jane Grey in an alternate 16th century England where the warring Protestants and Catholics are instead Shape-Shifters and Those that despise them.
YA novel My Lady Jane is hot on the market, with sources confirming that Holly Frederick of Curtis Brown Ltd is out to three interested producers, with the potential of going wide.
Synopsis: Story is set in a world where regular humans and lycans (who are people infected with werewolf blood) live side by side. The lycans are a stigmatized subclass forced to suppress their bestial nature pharmacologically, until a series of events leads to a worldwide uprising.
